|
| 7 | | Sec. 10-10. Valuation of solar energy systems. |
| 8 | | (a) Until assessment year 2020, when When a solar energy |
| 9 | | system
has been installed in improvements on any property, the |
| 10 | | owner of that property
is entitled to claim, by filing with the |
| 11 | | chief county assessment officer, an
alternate valuation of |
| 12 | | those improvements. When a claim for alternate
valuation is |
| 13 | | filed, the chief county assessment officer shall ascertain the
|
| 14 | | value of the improvements as if equipped with a conventional |
| 15 | | heating or cooling
system and the value of the improvements as |
| 16 | | equipped with the solar energy
system. So long as the solar |
| 17 | | energy system is used in total or part as the
means of |
| 18 | | utilizing solar energy improvements, the alternate valuation |
| 19 | | computed
as the lesser of the two values ascertained under this |
| 20 | | paragraph shall be
applied. When the solar energy system so |
| 21 | | valued ceases to be used as the means
of heating or cooling |
| 22 | | those improvements, the owner of that property shall
within 30 |
| 23 | | days notify the chief county assessment officer in writing
